it is difficult to say what is happening in rural america in general. what we have found is, particularly in the south and southwest, rural school districts have been consolidated almost to the hills. very large districts in their role self. we think, to a large extent, we have reached the economies of scale in these communities. that makes sense for those communities. but what happens, for the most part, you do not achieve cost savings and the quality that most proponents of consolidation assume that you will achieve by consolidation. particularly in the rural sites, you see it increased costs around transportation, lots more travel time for kids on buses, a much longer day. we have kids getting on the bus before daylight and they are getting off after sunset. when you factor those things into the formula of what is working, what should be the response to the small school problem -- and i do not like to think of it as a small school or small district problem -- it is a situation that exists that does not have to be problematic. when we look at it in te

a jobs bill that says make it in america, manufacture it in america, build the infrastructure of america, strengthens our communities with education and public safety and the rest. instead of that, instead of even passing appropriations bills, the republicans are in this aimless path taking us into chaos as we go into august because in september the moment of truth will be here. the fiscal year will end on september 30 instead of preparing for that, the republicans are once again on this fool's errand of making matters worse for the american people, putting insurance companies in charge of people's health, depriving patients of their rights. this budget challenge that we have is a serious one. we shouldn't be leaving here today because we haven't done the work necessary to prepare us for the end of the fiscal year. instead, we are wasting the taxpayers' time and money. i urge our colleagues to vote no on this legislation. i urge the american people to insist that we get down to the people's business of job creation and to find a budget that will not destroy and question the full faith an
